Glen Powell: New Movies and Shows in 2026 & 2027

Glen Powell went sky-high with his performance as Lieutenant Jake “Hangman” Seresin in ‘Top Gun: Maverick.’ However, before hitting the cockpit, he was hardened as a performer by ‘The Expendables 3,’ ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ ‘Ride Along 2,’ and ‘Hidden Figures.’ Needless to say, Powell is one of Hollywood’s latest sex symbols, something made crystal clear by his appearance in ‘Anyone But You,’ opposite Sydney Sweeney. However, his portrayals of Ben Richards in ‘The Running Man’ remake and Tyler Owens in ‘Twisters’ prove beyond a doubt that he is a man of many genres. From flying a jet to going after a tornado to running from explosions, he is unstoppable. Here are the upcoming movies and shows of Glen Powell.
